tor network rejections remain steady

binary fist    

Tor is freeware that enables anonymous communication on networks. It routes traffic over a free international network with relays all over that conceal a user location and blocks identity from those networks upon which their users might tread.

I have specific policies in place whereby access from tor networks is forbidden on my stuff. I have rules in place to assure this at several levels:

Firewall rules block subnets known to me.
Web server rules catch the bulk of the rest.

Very few tor networks escape this redundancy but I notice that the trickle of tor user access attempts haven't abated over the years to the point that I've stopped that bulk of block attempts in favor of letting the existing infrastructure handle the problem.

I'm not so much against anonymous access as I am those exploits too many tor users choose to attempt at my expense.

Sorry, but I'm all done being a sucker for web traffic and I'm happy to block anyone and everyone including google and anyone else out to exploit my sites.

No one else is going to make me their bitch. I don't care who you are.
